Blue Beetle meets Barbra Gordon/Batgirl

Jaime Reyes had been on the team for around a week now. He'd yet to meet everyone yet. On the list of people he hadn't met yet was Barbra Gordon. He'd used her to send a letter to Batman during the Reach invasion, but had actually just let one of the Posse give her the letter and didn't actually meet her. He had hoped to correct that and thank her properly for helping him out. All thoughts of that flew right out the window when he actually met her. She was very pretty he'd admit, but the kind of pretty he'd never have a chance with, but that wasn't what he was thinking when he saw her either. you see, he'd gotten up at night to get an Advil for his soreness due to his training, and it just so happens he had been spending the night at the cave. He went to the med bay and turned on the lights. That's when he saw her. She was sitting on a cot trying to dress her own wounds. And she was shirtless. Jaime immediately felt his face heat up and quickly turned around.

"Batgirl!" he squeaked, "I-I didn't look I swear! Um I ah ….Sorry"

"Blue Beetle right? Did I wake you?" Barbra asked.

"No no," Jaime said with his back still turned, "I was just getting an advil…um don't mean to be rude miss, but are you still erm…"

"Shirtless? No you're good. Pulled the shirt over the important parts only my belly's showing"

"Okay,' Jaime did turn around then and only then seemed to realize that his teammate was wounded, "Hey are you okay?"

"Yeah," she grunted as she poured peroxide on a cut on her arm, "Fine. Don't tell Nightwing okay? There's a reason I didn't say anything."

"That looks bad."

"Not really. You should go back to sleep."

"I'm not going anywhere chica."

"Why? Gonna perv on me?"

"No," Jaime said and at the same time sitting in the next cot over and pulling the curtain between the half naked Batgirl and himself, "Just gonna make sure your alright. My mother would kill me if I left an injured girl all alone. Actually my mother would kill me if I even left an injured squirrel all alone."

"I'm a big girl. I can handle myself."

"Not saying otherwise Batgirl. Just in case though."

Half an hour later Batgirl still wasn't done and Jaime still hadn't left or peeked. Jaime was starting to get worried so he called out to Batgirl. When he got no reply he allowed himself a quick glance… and saw Barbra Gordon fast asleep, not quite done dressing up her cuts. That made sense. It was two in the morning and she'd just come back from a three day mission, the poor girl had to be exhausted. She had three pretty nasty ones to go and one was still bleeding. Jaime made a quick decision. She may wake up and castrate him but it was better than leaving her there to rot.

Mind made up Jaime made quick work of stopping the bleeding and cleaning the cuts. He then carefully placed butterfly bandages and wrapped the cuts in bandages. After he was finished he righted Batgirl's shirt and pulled an extra blanket out and draped it over her. He then pulled an Advil bottle from the med cabinet and set it next to her bed with a bottle of water and a note that said, "Didn't look."

The next morning Barbra Gordon woke up in the Medical room with a blanket over her and reached out to take two Advils. Wait what? She remembered falling asleep, but who put those advils there? And dressed the cuts? Suddenly she saw the note and smiled. Blue Beetle huh? She'd have to make sure Dick took lessons from the kid; he was good.
